Kindness vs Niceness

Kindness is not niceness. Kindness is helping people help themselves, niceness is making people rely on you. Kindness is teaching a man how to finish to feed himself for a lifetime. Niceness is feeding a man a fish for a night so he keeps relying on your free fish. Kindness is believing in other's agency and competency and helping them grow and develop, and niceness is making yourself look good at the price of others truly becoming self-sustaining powerful agents of change.
